I'm not a mod, but, as far as I know, it was disabled because of security reasons.

Three questions:

I have 225 subscribed threads, am I insane?

How come I never see a spambot post?

What does the forum "tree" look like to mods? As in, what special forums do mods have access to?

Thanks for answering my questions!

225 subscribed threads? You're in the clear, a certain piece of ferrous headgear has ten times that number last I heard from it.

Spambot posts are frequent (ish). We have a tool that if you go back several pages you can see in one of technicalfool's screenshots - it is called the Spam-O-Matic and is very efficient at dealing with spambots (who we see because new users must have their posts approved by a moderator). Let it suffice to say that should the Spam-O-Matic be turned on you, you would cease to exist.

There are several 'secret' sections of the forum, quite a few of which are archive forums from before vBulletin was a thing. The others I am not quite at liberty to talk about, I think, but there are sections for the various Squad types, streamers, experimentals testers, et cetera.

If you want to unnerve KasperVld ask him about '67' or 'ireland'. You did not hear this from me. EDIT : If he tells you, please share it with me. I'm curious too.

I think that may be the larger size mods are allowed to have for their avatar, we technically have no limits but try to keep it within 180x180 so as to cause less gore (I think tetryds once nearly caused a forum crash with a 1920x1080 avatar).
